How much heat is generated/reflected by this “farm”? What is the environmental impact? Any wildfires being sparked?

I was reminded a few days ago about a solar project at the Manchester, NH airport. The glare from the panels caused problems for the air controllers in the tower.

More $$$ to fix a problem caused by an unnecessary project to begin with.

I imagine there have been a few rear-end collisions on Interstate 15 because of that facility as well.

Just like the death star superlaser. Same idea as your magnifying glass.

Wonder if they can aim it? Might come in handy if we are ever attacked by space aliens or a colony of giant ants.

I was stationed on Kure Atoll Coast Guard Loran Station in the middle of the Pacific. We had 3 generators with their exhaust and mufflers on the roof of the power building. In the salt air those things rusted pretty fast so I asked for some special paint, basically liquid chrome. When the next C 130 logistics flight came in the pilots said they could see the sun’s reflection off of those mufflers for miles and were wondering what that was. I can imagine what these huge mirrors are doing.

I’ve driven by this monstrosity several times and had a passing thought about its effects on pilots.

These solar and wind farm are two of the biggest eyesores ever created by man. Talk about visual pollution, but the environmental whackos dismiss all that along with the large bird kills caused by both.
